Turtles & Tortoise are great pets. They’re cute and are easy to care for and manage most of the time.
The shell, which provides protection for the tortoises & Turtle, is the most eye-catching part of their body. Therefore, Tortoises & Turtle enthusiasts pay much attention to make sure it looks nice and healthy. The shell consists of two parts – dorsal and ventral connected with sterna.
The shell reflects the overall condition of them. Inappropriate diet, the deficiency of vitamins and minerals as well as kidney disorders may result in irreversible shell deformations. A number of conditions should be met in order to ensure healthy shell. Proper living conditions must be guaranteed (clean and spacious terrarium, proper humidity, temperature and lightning) and carefully balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D3 provided. It is also recommended to oil the shell with Pet Care International Shell-Care (with caryophyllus oil) after each bath. The shell will remain glossy and healthy looking. Caryophyllus oil cares for the tortoises’ shell, removes the impurities and offers a refreshing effect.
